Wave height gauge: Waist-to-chest to Overhead
How to read the two heights: Hs is the model's significant wave height; metres and feet are two units for that same Hs height (1 ft = 0.3048 m). Breaking-wave face height is an engineering estimate that applies a period-aware nearshore shoaling factor to Hs, so it is usually larger. It is not a unit conversion or an on-site measurement.
Dangerous today: Wind too strong. Stay out of the water.

This spot works best on N, NW, W swell.
Onshore wind today, and the swell isn't lined up either.
